A coffee with a positive impact
We want to create a positive impact on people, the local area and the environment by strengthening the link with the local community.
Every sip of Caffè Carlito is not only a moment of pleasure, but also a caring and supportive gesture.
We want to weave a strong bond with the communities that grow our coffee, committing ourselves to building respectful and fair relationships. Through certifications, we underline our commitment to making responsible and conscious choices.
We don't stop there: our support extends to charitable projects and associations that aim to make a difference. A portion of each of our sales becomes a concrete contribution to positive change.
Respect for workers and the highest possible quality, with complete transparency towards the consumer.
With the sale of some of our coffees, we raise funds to donate to charities.
We love to be present on the ground and to work alongside some local realities.
Sustainability and transparency
We have implemented a number of initiatives aimed at reducing our environmental impact: from the digitisation of internal processes to the use of eco-friendly technologies, such as electric vehicles in our fleet, and the careful choice of materials for our products, such as bio-compostable bags and compostable capsules.
We support certifications such as Fairtrade Max Havelaar, which ensures a minimum wage for workers in coffee producing communities, and Bio Gemma certification, which imposes strict controls on the entire supply chain and production process.
We have also introduced full traceability through QR codes on our Right To Play Special Edition Miscela Ticino packs. All of this is managed on blockchain, to ensure an additional degree of transparency.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Aspi is an association in Ticino that carries out initiatives to prevent violence and abuse for a target group that starts with the youngest children (4-5 years old) and goes all the way up to 14-15 year olds.
The association receives 2 CHF for every 1kg packet of ASPI beans sold and 0.50 CHF for every 250g packet of ASPI coffee beans sold.
Right To Play Switzerland is an association dedicated to educating children through play. It operates in various disadvantaged areas of the planet, such as Africa and more specifically Tanzania, from which we purchase some of our Robusta quality green coffee.
CHF 0.50 is donated to the association for every 1 kg pack of Ticino Right To Play Edition blend sold. The customer can also decide to donate a further CHF 0.50 to the association by purchasing the product.
The company deals with Blockchain, which is used to ensure the security and transparency of transactions. The system is linked to a QR code on the packs of Ticino blend Special Edition Right To Play. By scanning it, it is possible to obtain information about the batch number, date of the roasting process, origin of the product, funds in favour of Right To Play reached through the sale, and expiry date of the product. The new version of the site will also provide information related to environmental impact.
Partners and sponsorships
We believe that supporting the local area is a duty for responsible companies. For this reason, we have always been committed to promoting local activities through partnerships and sponsorships. Over the years we have supported cultural events, sports associations and social projects, helping to create a stronger and more vibrant community.
We support the region by collaborating with Terreni alla Maggia with the Mercato del gusto event. The second edition brings together Ticino products and top chefs, for an unmissable Sunday gastronomic market at Terreni alla Maggia in Ascona.
The Omega European Masters is one of the golf competitions we support. Located in Crans-Montana, in the heart of the Swiss Alps, the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf-Club is indisputably the most spectacular course on the DP World Tour calendar. In addition to this, we are present at the tournaments of Golf Club Zermatt, Golf Andermatt, Golf Engadine, Golf Goldenberg, Golf Club Breitenloo in Nürensdorf, Golf de la Manchette, Golf Villa d'Este and Golf Club Sion.
For many years now, we have been supporting the ‘Vallemaggia Magic Blues’, a vibrant regional music event that welcomes national and international blues performers to the stages of the most beautiful and atmospheric squares in Vallemaggia.
In addition to this, we also cherish the cultural event ‘Eventi Letterari Monte verità’.
Our blends
Our signature is craftsmanship: it is expressed through the meticulous selection of coffee beans, carefully picked from different and distinct regions around the world. The result is a coffee that radiates a bouquet of aromas and a distinctive taste, creating a unique and unforgettable sensory experience.
